"Revival of 1.7 GW Offshore Wind Farms in New York Sparks Consumer Cost Concerns"
TL;DR
New York State has conditionally awarded contracts to Equinor’s Empire Wind 1 and Eversource and Ørsted’s Sunrise Wind, which were previously canceled but have now reached viable power purchase agreements in the latest offshore wind solicitation. These "shovel-ready" projects will provide enough clean power for 1 million New York homes, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create jobs. The projects are expected to come online in 2026 and 2027, contributing to New York State's goal of achieving 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy by 2035.
